Where do we come from? Why are we this way and not some other? What does it mean to be human? Are we capable, if need be, of fundamental change, or do the dead hands of forgotten ancestors impel us in some direction, indiscriminately for good or ill, and beyond our control? Can we alter our character? Can we improve our societies? Can we leave our children a world better than the one that was left to us? Can we free them from the demons that torment us and haunt our civilization? In the long run, are we wise enough to know what changes to make? Can we be trusted with our own future?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our kids showed a lot of heart and wrestled real hard all day.

Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course there's a lot of knowledge in universities: the freshmen bring a little in; the seniors don't take much ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of course there's a lot of knowledge in universities: the freshmen bring a little in; the seniors don't take much away, so knowledge sort of accumulates.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You could afford your house without the government-if it weren't forthe government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21551]]></link><description><![CDATA[You could afford your house without the government-if it weren't forthe government.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ne'er blush'd, unless, in spreading vice's snares, She blunder'd on some virtue unawares. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ne'er blush'd, unless, in spreading vice's snares, She blunder'd on some virtue unawares.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is acceptance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18671]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is acceptance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip will be good for all students.

Securing a healthy global future requires this guiding principle to preserve freedom of spirit yet be as provable as the laws of physics. A guiding principle that addresses the meaning of life and is compelling enough to generate social cohesion and behaviors that serve the greater whole.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then, everlasting Love, restrain thy will; 'Tis god-like to have power, but not to kill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then, everlasting Love, restrain thy will; 'Tis god-like to have power, but not to kill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10381]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world was better for this. -Don Quixote.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thing about baseball is, it takes one pitch to change a game.
